Smallfish Lake

Smallfish Lake is a medium-sized (593 acre) fishing lake in the east block of Porcupine Hills Provincial Park just beside the Manitoba border. It is 145km NNE of Yorkton and 65 NNE of Norquay with access from Highway 980 (gravel).

There is a nice campground at the lake, with a boat launch, fish-filleting shack, and outhouses. The campsites are quite large and private with lots of trees. Reservations are required at the campground, and there is no cell service so plan ahead and book online or by phone before you get to the lake.

The lake is relatively shallow and has Yellow Perch and Northern Pike.

There are several other lakes in the nearby area to explore including Townsend Lake, Isbister Lake, Woody Lake, Spirit Lake, and Elbow Lake.

I really liked this lake. It was very pretty, with some of the nicest big campsites I've seen. Well spaced out, and everything was spotless.
